Based in San Francisco, Aurora Solar is a fast-growing Series A company focused on building a clean energy future for all. Aurora makes the software that is enabling society to transition to a world powered by solar power. We want every solar installation in the world to pass through our software, which has already been used to design millions of solar projects. Named “Top 50 Tech Companies to Watch in 2020” by BuiltInSF.com and awarded #1 Solar Software platform by Solar Power World, Aurora is disrupting the energy industry and changing the course of history. We are poised for hockey stick growth and are looking for A-players to come join the fun.

We are looking for a senior graphics engineer, who will help take our core CAD software, which is used by thousands of solar companies worldwide, to the next level of realism, interactivity, and functionality. If you are interested in bringing cutting-edge rendering and geometry manipulation methods to a fast-growing solar industry and want to help society transition to a more sustainable future, we would love to hear from you!

CAD is the core part of our business and we allow space for creativity from our CAD team. Despite only currently having 5 members, more than a third of CAD features so far were conceived by the engineers themselves. And we plan to continue empowering engineers to come up with ways to make the product better. There are still a lot of exciting unsolved engineering obstacles, ample opportunities for management and career growth!
